Just thought to followup that I've ran into the same situation box got slow, but this time before I restarted NFS server I've mentioned that it was slow both under VNC and in new logins.
After restart of NFS server new logins returned to normal, but session in VNC remained slow. Not sure what could I do to troubleshoot but at least would provide list of open "files" from vncserver -- may be it would give a hint: $> of 9734 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME Xvnc4
